This one has not officially launched yet, but since they’re live (and I was able to locate it without really looking), I can’t help but point it out. You can just feel the potential oozing from it:
i4i : Eye (I) for an Eye (I): Information for Information Professionals - “An Information and Library Science Weblog” (RSS feed - not linked from the site, I just took an educated guess; bet ya I’m the first subscriber!)
From what I can gather, this is a project eminating from folks at the Pratt SILS. One of the coordinators is Michael, who authors the eGov Weblog I mentioned on Wednesday.
The author of Voice of Reason (RSS feed) just “took a job with the government documents division of Hauser Library today.”
Jenny’s got a good one, but you’ve probably already seen it, haven’t you?
Our Journey to Innovative - “The Addison Public’s Library journey to a new computer system!” (no feed)
Catalogue Blog - “a record of the small things in life that make a cataloguer smile.” (no feed)
Rumblings Under Oscar’s Porch - “Take off your coat, and stay awhile. Feel free to leave comments, or just a hello when you’ve visited.” (no feed)
From the proof of librarianship post: “I would also like to publicly (I already thanked him in person) acknowledge the wonderfulness of the principal. It’s teacher appreciation week, a week much dreaded by myself as it never ends up being LIBRARIAN APPRECIATION week or day (except for the flowers from the History teacher this Christmas). THIS year, the new principal has included me in all his little efforts at thanking the staff. Yesterday we all got a little thank you for your efforts and special contributions card with a lottery ticket (we got one at Christmas too), today was a tiny box of two EXQUISITE chocolates, and who knows what we’re getting tomorrow. It’s AWESOME! Also, the cafeteria lady has been sending us food. Yesterday there was a GIANT salad for everyone, and an equally giant platter of homemade cookies, and today was a cheese and fruit platter. YAY! “
This from the “old, but as of yet unnoticed” file:
eGov Weblog - “I’m an Information and Library Science Masters student. I believe that information is a public utility to be shared, used, and, yes, regulated. My areas of research are Government Documents, work flow / knowledge management, and the uses of technology to aid information transfer.” (RSS feed)
I just love this:
Schoolhouse Rock - “Playlists and discussion topics from a weekly radio show on WSCB 89.9 FM, Springfield College, Springfield, MA, hosted by reference librarians Emily Alling and James Miller.” (no feed)
Sadly, the radio station doesn’t stream, but check out the playlist from their first week:
Sam Cooke, Having a Party
Belle & Sebastian, Wrapped Up In Books
Rolling Stones, You Can’t Always Get What You Want
Smiths, Bigmouth Strikes Again
Led Zeppelin, The Girl I Love, She Got Long Black Wavy Hair
Internet Gem of the Week: Howard Dean, Remixed (http://deangoesnuts.com)
Ben Folds, The Luckiest
Modern Lovers, Girlfriend
Lauryn Hill, Can’t Take My Eyes Off You
Plus, discussion of Boolean logic.
Anyone who can blend Belle and Sebastian, Ben Folds and logical operators scores big points in my book.
I’ve mentioned the blogs of the Pullen Library at Georgia State before, but I wanted to share two more subject-specific blogs that the library’s subject specialists are producing:
Issues in Scholarly Communication - “A library weblog covering the Issues of Scholarly Communication for the faculty and students at Georgia State University.” (RSS feed)
Social Sciences News - “A weblog featuring library related news, events, and resources for the Social Sciences at Georgia State University.” (RSS feed)
